The man didn’t answer, but guiltily put on the mask and then the hoodie.
With such a guilty expression, what else needed to be said? Alice understood everything.
She looked coldly at the man. “So he returned, didn’t he? But he didn’t dare to see me, and sent you to follow me. What does he
want?
“If he has the guts, he should appear in front of me. What’s with the sneaky behavior? Is he afraid to see me p>
Thinking of the man she saw at the hospital that day, Alice was sure it was Zaid. He really had returned.
The man remained silent.
Alice was too smart. If he said anything, she would know the whole story.
Now, she almost knew everything, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth.
Alice suddenly threw the camera under the bridge with force.
“No! The man’s heartbroken voice came.
He had someone bring it back from abroad. It wasn’t just expensive, but also rare!
Watching his camera being swallowed by the darkness, he felt his heart shatter.
Alice calmly walked to his side. “Zaid has money, let him compensate you. Tell him, be a man and show up in front of me; otherwise, he should stop following me p>
She directly got into a taxi by the roadside and returned to the hotel.
As soon as she got out of the taxi, she almost fell.
She was too weak today. She had vomited everything out at noon and hadn’t eaten dinner, so she had no strength left.
Plus, she had been highly focused just now, and now that she relaxed, she was about to faint.
Before she collapsed, a big hand firmly held her waist.
A familiar scent enveloped her, and Alice instinctively pushed him away. “Thank you, Mr. Johnson
She didn’t want people in the hotel to see them together, especially not Dwayne.
Are you planning to crawl back?” Michael snorted coldly. “If you don’t want to be seen, don’t struggle p>

He held Alice tightly and got into the elevator.
A staff member was about to get in the elevator with them, but seeing his cold face, they immediately stepped back.
Alice was indeed weak, and her body kept trembling.
She suddenly thought that maybe Dwayne wasn’t trying to drug her with some aphrodisiac, but poison her. Otherwise, why would
she suddenly feel so unwell?
Michael impatiently snorted, “Why did you go out p>
“Thanks to the wine earlier.” Alice said with a feigned smile.
Michael pouted, “I didn’t force you to drink p>
Before Alice could retort, he said two more words, “Shut up p>
He didn’t want to hear any more harsh words from those alluring lips of hers.
Alice didn’t want to talk either; her mind was a mess.
Michael took the room card from her pocket, entered her room and quickly threw her onto the bed.
Alice had already started to have a low fever, and she seemed to be mumbling something.
Michael was annoyed by her appearance but still took out his phone and called Clifton.
Have someone bring some fever medicine and some soup p>
“To your room? What’s wrong with you?” Clifton’s voice was puzzled.
“To the 22nd floor p>
Upon hearing this, Clifton immediately understood.
Who else could be on the 22nd floor?
Michael wouldn’t be sending medicine to Dwayne.
Thinking of how unwell Alice looked today, Clifton sighed. He knew Michael’s feelings for Alice weren’t simple, only Michael didn’t
want to admit it.
After about twenty minutes, Clifton personally brought everything up.
The soup here was sold out, so I ordered takeout. Is she having a fever p>

Before he could enter the bedroom, Michael directly pushed him out. “Leave p>
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Clifton rolled his eyes.
Did he think he was a delivery guy? Delivery guys got tips!
Then Clifton remembered he had seen Celestia lingering at Michael’s door for a long time earlier. It seemed she missed her chance
again.
Michael poured a cup of hot water and helped Alice take the medicine.
Alice, in her daze, was obedient and took whatever was given to her.
Michael sneered, “You don’t even question what you are taking? No wonder you end up like this p>
Alice mumbled a few words, but Michael didn’t hear clearly.
He waited quietly for her to fall asleep and glanced at the soup, guessing she wouldn’t be able to have it.
He covered Alice with the blanket and was about to leave.
But Alice suddenly reached out and grabbed Michael’s clothes. “What do you want p>
Her voice was hoarse and carried some grievance. “What do you want p>
Michael sighed, put her hand back under the blanket. “Whatever I want, it’s none of your business. Sleep p>
He turned off the light and left Alice’s room.
Just after he closed the door, Alice murmured again, “Zaid, what do you want p>
Her words echoed in the quiet room.
Alice had a long dream.
In her dream, she saw Zaid, who still looked like he did in high school, sunny and handsome.
But she could only see his back; he never turned around for her.
Alice kept chasing after him, but he didn’t even want to say a word to her.
When she got tired and needed to rest, she woke up; it was already dawn.
Originally, they had planned the last inspection for today and were supposed to fly back in the evening.
But in the morning, they were suddenly notified of another meeting.

Everyone was taken to a meeting room.
Celestia whispered, Mr. Johnson, what meeting are we having today p>
Michael shook his head.
Dwayne and Clifton didn’t show much surprise. Working with the government meant constant meetings.
But Alice felt a bit uneasy because she had just seen the engineer from previous night.
Could it be that her proposal was being discussed so quickly?
It was her idea; Nola had just helped with some detailed steps.
If her proposal could really be used, Alice would feel quite honored.
She clasped her hands, unable to hold back her excitement.
Suddenly, a secretary walked in. “Alice from Luminary Holdings Ltd., please come with me p>
Alice immediately stood up and walked out under the puzzled gazes of everyone.
When she arrived at another meeting room, everyone inside was looking at her.
One of the senior officials asked, “Alice, right? Is this your idea p>
He pointed to the content on the projector.
Alice nodded. “Yes, the idea is mine. A classmate helped with some details, and I made some modifications p>
Several other officials nodded.
“It’s good, and it seems feasible to implement.
“Luminary Holdings Ltd? Never heard of this company before. It’s a pity for a young lady like you to be a secretary p>
“Didn’t she say yesterday that she also studied architectural design? It seems professional work should be done by professionals p>
The official in the middle suddenly asked, “How much stake does Luminary Holdings Ltd. have p>
“Five percent, Alice answered respectfully.
The official tapped the table. “That’s a bit low.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief; Dwayne’s dream of getting a larger share share was about to come true.
